Description

The MVD DVB-T/H modulator is a drop-in module for FPGA that includes the following functions :
  • Input data framer (or SFN FIFO) from DVB-SPI source (MPEG-TS flow)
  • DVB-T modulator
    • Energy dispersal
    • Reed Solomon encoder
    • Convolutional interleaver
    • FEC convolution encoder
    • Inner interleaver
    • QPSK/QAM symbol mapper
    • Framer with pilots & TPS inserter
    • IFFT and guard interval insertion
  • Flexible Digital Up Sampler
  • Modulator for FI output
  • Output for simple DAC (14 bits) or complex DAC (2x16bits)

Available options

  • SFN, including memory controller
  • Linear pre-correction
  Features
  • ETSI, DVB-T/H (EN 300 744 V1.5.1) compliant baseband transmitter for Digital Terrestrial Television
  • Supported FPGA families: Spartan®-6, Virtex®-6/7, Kintex™-7, Artix™-7, Zynq™
  • Single clock
  • Robust SPI input (discarding of incorrect input packets)
  • PCR re-stamping (MFN mode)
  • Single channel, supports hierarchical transmission
  • Configurable Convolutional Rate
  • Configurable in-depth interleaving for DVB-H

  • Programmable Guard Interval (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32)
  • Supports variable channel width 5 to 8 MHz
  • Intermediate frequency output for single DAC (14 bits) or complex DAC (2 x 16 bits)
  • Full synthesizable RTL VHDL design (not delivered) for easy customization
  • Design delivered as Netlist
  • MER > 42dB
  • Carrier suppression > 45dB
Applications

The MVD DVB-T/H modulator may be used in applications related to SFN/MFN terrestrial transmission, typically at the head end.
